Rainey, you are definitely stretching me for this one. I'm trying, here, believe me. Maybe appreciating "the dream" will draw me closer....But I think I need more than 100 words! I'm searching Bontecou....Thank you....
Like all art, one really has to see this one in person. The mass of it sticking out from the wall is pretty remarkable. I find her work beautiful in the way I find the desert beautiful: forbidding, spare, but stunning.

Also, I think the grim industrial destruction of World War II resonated in her early sculptural works like this.
